Answer:

$0.75

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that a proportional relationship between the number of pounds of carrots (x) and the price in dollars (y).

We can represent this information as: $y=kx$ .

We are also told that the ordered pair (8, 6) is on the graphed line. Let us substitute x= 8 and y= 6 in our proportional equation to find the constant of proportionality.

$6=k*8$

$k=\frac{6}{8}$

$k=\frac{3}{4}$

Now let us substitute k=3/4 and x=1 in our proportionality equation.

$y=\frac{3}{4}*1$

$y=\frac{3}{4}$

$y=0.75$

Therefore, the price of 1 pound of carrots will be $0.75.

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

16. Two parallel lines are cut by transversal. Angles with measures $(6x+20)^{\circ}$ and $(x+100)^{\circ}$ are alternate exterior angles. By alternate exterior angles, the measures of alternate exterior angles are the same:

$6x+20=x+100\\ \\6x-x=100-20\\ \\5x=80\\ \\x=16$

Then

$(6x+20)^{\circ}=(6\cdot 16+20)^{\circ}=116^{\circ}\\ \\(x+100)^{\circ}=(16+100)^{\circ}=116^{\circ}$

17. Two parallel lines are cut by transversal. Angles with measures $(2x+12)^{\circ}$ and $(3x-22)^{\circ}$ are alternate interior angles. By alternate interior angles, the measures of alternate interior angles are the same:

$2x+12=3x-22\\ \\2x-3x=-22-12\\ \\-x=-34\\ \\x=34$

Then

$(2x+12)^{\circ}=(2\cdot 34+12)^{\circ}=80^{\circ}\\ \\(3x-22)^{\circ}=(3\cdot 34-22)^{\circ}=80^{\circ}$

18. Two parallel lines are cut by transversal. Angles with measures $(6x-7)^{\circ}$ and $(5x+10)^{\circ}$ are alternate exterior angles. By alternate interior angles, the measures of alternate exterior angles are the same:

$6x-7=5x+10\\ \\6x-5x=10+7\\ \\x=17$

Then

$(6x-7)^{\circ}=(6\cdot 17-7)^{\circ}=95^{\circ}\\ \\(5x+10)^{\circ}=(5\cdot 17+10)^{\circ}=95^{\circ}$

19. The diagram shows two complementary angles with measures $2x^{\circ}$ and $56^{\circ}$ . The measures of complementary angles add up to $90^{\circ},$ then

$2x+56=90\\ \\2x=90-56\\ \\2x=34\\ \\x=17$

Hence,

$2x^{\circ}=2\cdot 17^{\circ}=34^{\circ}$

Check:

$34^{\circ}+56^{\circ}=90^{\circ}$

20. Angles $\angle 1$ and $\angle 2$ are vertical angles. By vertical angles theorem, vertical angles are congruent, so

$m\angle 1=m\angle 2\\ \\5x+7=3x+15\\ \\5x-3x=15-7\\ \\2x=8\\ \\x=4$

Hence,

$m\angle 1=(5x+7)^{\circ}=(5\cdot 4+7)^{\circ}=27^{\circ}\\ \\m\angle 2=(3x+15)^{\circ}=(3\cdot 4+15)^{\circ}=27^{\circ}$

21. $\angle 5$ and $\angle 8$ are supplementary. The measures of supplementary angles add up to $180^{\circ},$ so

$m\angle 5+m\angle 8=180^{\circ}\\ \\3x-40+7x-120=180\\ \\10x-160=180\\ \\10x=180+160\\ \\10x=340\\ \\x=34$

Therefore,

$m\angle 5=(3x-40)^{\circ}=(3\cdot 34-40)^{\circ}=62^{\circ}\\ \\m\angle 8=(7x-120)^{\circ}=(7\cdot 34-120)^{\circ}=118^{\circ}\\ \\62^{\circ}+118^{\circ}=180^{\circ}$

Based on the sample of 500 people, 42% owned cats. Calculate the test statistic. Round to two decimal places.

Tanzania [10]

Answer:

z= 3.63

z for significance level = 0.05 is ± 1.645

Step-by-step explanation:

Here p = 42% = 0.42

n= 500

We formulate our null and alternative hypotheses as

H0: p= 0.42 against Ha : p> 0.42 One tailed test

From this we can find q which is equal to 1-p= 1-0.42 = 0.58

Taking p`= 0.5

Now using the z test

z= p`- p/ √p(1-p)/n

Putting the values

z= 0.5- 0.42/ √0.42*0.58/500

z= 0.5- 0.42/ 0.0220

z= 3.63

For one tailed test the value of z for significance level = 0.05 is ± 1.645

Since the calculated value does not fall in the critical region we reject our null hypothesis and accept the alternative hypothesis that more than 42% people owned cats.
